Has anyone had major issues claiming prizes?
It seems to a passionate topic with compers, especially for Facebook competitions.
Any horror stories or advice how to handle this delicate topic with a promoter? Or good news of a promoter going the extra distance to smooth things over.
I've been fairly lucky myself with prizes won were through great promoters and quick delivery.

I just accepted it was not going to happen and moved on after a few weeks of chasing it up. Was very disappointing, but I figured well I haven't really lost anything, so no use wasting any more time on it. Only issue I've had though, everything else has arrived.

The longest time I waited for a prize was 8 months and that was for a 100 dollar coles gift card.
The only time a prize never came was a candle.

13 Sep 16 6:50 PMI won a trip to the USA from Facebook once and it took forever to claim as people left the promotional job and passed it on to someone else to arrange. After a year of asking they finally came to the party and added another person to the trip. (it was originally for 2) They paid for other hotel expenses and threw in another tour in America for us. Even though it took ages...it was well worth it in the end. :)
